Read the passage given below, and answer the questions based on your understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 46-50)

Invention is the creation of an idea that can be translated to practice. It is also the process of bringing new technology into being. Invention is
goal directed, the process is orderly, and it is essentially an intellectual process. An inventor is generally not a big reservoir of existing knowledge
or of past failures. A substantial part of a scientist’s time is spent in collecting facts. The greater a scientist’s familiarity with the great
scientific works, the greater will be his own power of invention. Ingenuity is the younger brother of imagination. Theoretical creation is an intermediate step between
invention and discovery. A scientist who is familiar with a number of methods attached to a problem, is most likely to solve the greatest number of problems.
Invention is the basic ingredient of innovation. Innovation is of two kinds, i.e., in product and service. It is a slow process. Innovations which started several
years ago may bear fruit now. Innovation involves the bringing of an invention into commercial use. In some cases, invention and innovation merge into one another.
Invention and innovation have been the foundations of industrial development in most advanced countries. Innovation bring about competition and competition brings
about efficiency. Of the total innovation process, research is only a part. Research may invent, but invention can only be utilized by the complicated and complex
process of innovation. Innovation is more often the result of recognizing and adapting an idea than of invention a new one. Utilization of technical information
including research outputs can result in an industrial innovation. Innovators achieve success, but not imitations. In the past, innovation came from individual
scientists. Individual inventors were responsible for innovation. In modern industry it is rarely the case, teams of scientists are really responsible for inventions
and innovations. Success in invention and innovation depends not only on originality and imagination but also on knowing what and how to invent and innovate.
46.What is an invention ?
It is the idea that has the characteristics of application.
A theoretical idea regardless of application.

48.Industrial development and competitive environment are possible when

49.Invention is carried out at present
